I agree on all of Ledyard Sensei's post.
There is no place for Rudeness in and out of the mat .Coz ur training in AIKIDO does not have any boundaries, what or how u train inside the Dojo reflects on ur personality as well as ur teacher.Isn't it Ironic that we in AIKIDO always promote HARMONY to be one w/ the Universe ,w/ Mother Nature, w/ all that's around us specially the people around us. I cant think of a word to describe this kinda Senior's in w/c they are supposed to assist the lower ranks but instead what they are showing is arrogance in it's highest form. I agree w/ Ledyard Sensei's suggestion to bring this guys back to white belts for RETRAINING.
